@ Max: you guys had rode in M2M ride. Mural ride was fun, not really a ride but an enjoyable tour. Next time we will incorporate homebrew stops. Trying to get a ferry setup from rock Hall to Baltimore. So far no luck but have had discussions with the mayor and other politicians from Rock Hall. Great crabs at Chester River Crabs. Cycled Eastern Neck last month, ospreys were incredible diving into the bay for dinner and great vistas.
Speaking of homebrews, I am brewing tomorrow with my fresh hops from my vines. A long day for sure, picking hops is no fun, brewing is


With the weather in our favor we went for a short spin today along the Anacostia River trail, ~10 miles. Short and easy but lots of fun. Some very impressive bridges (4) crossing the Anacostia. We rode both sides between Benning rd and Frederick Douglas bridge with a side trip to a small island. Lots of bird and animal life. Didn't realize there was a brewpub 1 block off of the trail, bummer. Here's a link to an unusual bridge along the DC side of the trail:

Next time I plan to paddle into the aquatic gardens from Bladensberg marina. Eventually(2016) the trail will meet up with the NW branch trail system near Bladensburg. I can see a new route for M2M.
